No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Look, I love me some Jason Statham being overly British and kicking ass for upward two hours while barely making a face, so I'm going to say Jason Statham.

Have you seen the beekeeper? Terrible film.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

No that movie was great.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

I’m constantly astounded that people seem to unironically enjoy that movie. I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade so I stay away from discussions about it, but I saw it in theaters (because I also love Jason Statham) and immediately regretted it. It felt like it was written as a joke, but then tried to take itself seriously, and failed at both. I feel like I’m getting pranked by people saying they like that movie.

James Dean. Credited in only 3 films (appeared in a few more as an extra):

  • East of Eden
  • Rebel Without a Cause
  • Giant

All 3 are above average on IMDb (> 7).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I mean... It depends what you consider a bad film.

IMO, Raul Julia hasn't been in a single bad movie. And, yes, I have seen Overdrawn at the Memory Bank.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Presumably, that movie was made on a Tuesday.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 15 hours ago

That movie is good because of Raul Julia.

Tim Curry.

And before you tell me he was in some notoriously shit movies, no they weren't, Tim Curry was in those movies, so they're great movies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

Prime example: Oscar (1991)

It got bad reviews (I loved it) but Curry’s performance was amazing.

It’s free on YouTube.

I'm not a huge fan of Tom Cruise and also never watched the MI franchise, but otherwise he knows how to pick good scripts... Last Samurai, Vanilla Sky, Tropic Thunder, Minority Report, Top Gun, Rain man, Edge of Tomorrow, The Firm. There are still a bunch I never saw so there may be some rotten tomatoes in the basket

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

He DOES have some bad movies, but not many. I really don't like the guy either, but I like a lot of his movies. You forgot Oblivion and Jerry Maguire for instance.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Agree he had a very high hit rate, and personal life aside, I enjoy most of his movies.

But MI:2 and MI:3 are mediocre at best, and Knight and Day and Rock of Ages were massive flops (I haven't seen either, but i they look horrible). Cocktail earned him a razzie nomination.

Don't forget The Mummy remake, it was so bad they cancelled the Dark Universe because of it.

""Kurtzman called the experience “brutal” and described The Mummy as “probably the biggest failure” of his life.""

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Ah, I've even seen that one! Good call

[–] [email protected] -2 points 11 hours ago

Eyes Wide Shut. What a piece of crap.

Tom Hanks.

I've never seen a bad Tom Hanks movie.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Tom Hanks is close, but Cloud Atlas exists.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

You should make sure to say T. Hanks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

He is in this abomination of a book adaptation for Incredibly loud and extremely close.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

I actually kinda liked it and btw it was nominated for best picture

Probably Daniel Day Lewis. He’s extremely picky about what he’s in.

Gene Hackman had a pretty good run

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Gene Wilder was the first that came to my mind.

Then Richard Pryor.
